Weight loss Australia
Pilot and Mosh Australia — programme service comparison
Service-level comparison of two Australian telehealth weight-management platforms. Compares programme structure, consultation route and support model only. Does not display prices for any prescription medicine.
Last updated: 2026-05-12. This page does not display prescription-medicine prices.
Quick answer
Pilot and Mosh both use AHPRA-registered prescribers via telehealth and Australian pharmacy dispensing. Compare the programme service — consultation cadence, review schedule, cancellation terms — rather than the medicine that may be prescribed.
How the bill works
Cost anatomy
Consultation fee
GP, specialist or telehealth clinical assessment where charged.
Ask whether a Medicare item number applies.
Programme fee
Coaching, account access or follow-up support where bundled.
Ask what is included and what is separate.
Dispensing and delivery
Pharmacy handling, dispensing and cold-chain delivery where relevant.
Confirm the pharmacy route after a valid prescription.
PBS context
PBS only helps when the medicine and patient meet current criteria.
Check current rules with pbs.gov.au and your prescriber.
Access routes
GP or specialist consultation
Clinical assessment, suitability discussion and any follow-up plan.
Verify the prescriber on the AHPRA register.
Online programme
Assessment, prescriber route, support and pharmacy delivery workflow.
Ask what service fees include before booking.
PBS route
Only where current PBS criteria are met.
Do not assume obesity or weight-management use is PBS subsidised.

Safe comparison notes
- Compare programmes on the programme service, not on the medicine that may or may not be prescribed.
- Whether any prescription medicine is suitable is a clinical decision following an AHPRA-registered consultation.
- Australian regulations restrict the advertising of prescription medicines to consumers, so this page does not display medicine prices.
